“I just feel there were some ill-times plays,” the Former Steelers legend stated On Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger. “We got behind the sticks, whether it was penalties, whether it was plays, whether it was execution.”

Ben Roethlisberger believes that the Bengals figured out the Steelers’ offense in the second-half game
Ben Roethlisberger pointed out that the Bengals showed great coaching and tactical prowess as they figured out the Steelers’ offense after an exceptional performance from them in the first half.
From there, they incorporated counter-plays that helped break down their offense and in turn scored many points with the help of their star QB Joe Burrow.
The Steelers’ second-half performance was the contrast to their first-half brilliance. The team committed many mistakes and gave possession through tardiness that could have been prevented.
“It could have been the defense figuring it out,” Ben Roethlisberger stated. “It just didn’t feel like there was some spark in the second half”
The Steelers are currently 4th in their division and their season isn’t going according to their expectations. They will fave the Colts in their next game who were just defeated by the Eagles in a close game.
